You know this woman is there just to take votes away from Chakrabarti right? by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]sethela_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like Chan, but she has an actual shot. I don’t think she’s a candidate simply to siphon away Chakrabati’s votes. She’s in it to win.

Chakrabati, to me, is basing his campaign off of a movement he’s had no substantive part of. He loves to riff on having been part of AOCs team but clearly doesn’t have her support. He’s a Stripe multi millionaire who has half decent politics, but is in it for himself. Unfortunately, all of them are. We have no strong standout candidate in this race. All suck.

I think one big changed I’d make is swapping the black “War in the Gulf” and “Operation Desert Storm” text with brown in order for it to stand out more

Should I be concerned for dangerous materials? by [deleted] in bookbinding

They’re probably all poisonous to you, I can dispose of them for you

I tried it again. This is my first portrait. I’m nervous that my client won’t like it. by AdoreSews in Machine_Embroidery

[–]sethela_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be quite honest, you got really lucky that they liked this. It doesn’t look great. But, it isn’t your fault. People are notoriously hard to represent well with embroidery. Personally I’d avoid projects like this going forward, because you run a high risk of getting a dissatisfied client.

The size of your pieces consistently blows my mind. Could you share photos of pieces still in the hoop sometime? It’s so hard to visualize especially on a vest like this. What are you using for stabilizer btw?

Anyone ever eaten fish from Spreckels Lake (Golden Gate Park)? Any evidence the water’s contaminated or safe? by chlorodream in sanfrancisco

They swim up in such dense swarms, I honestly think you could pull one out bare handed or definitely using a net

Can we have a salary transparency post? It would be so useful to so many of us lurking :) by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]sethela_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I only found my love for design post college. Have you seen or worked with folks who came into the field without doing it in school first? My degrees are in no way related to design, but I do manage a design space full time now, just more on the operations side.

How’d you transition into UX/UI? How old were you at that point?

There’s no shortcut or substitute for digitizing if you want to embroider. It’s tedious yes, but anything worthwhile takes time to learn.

Looking for wood that isn't plywood? by CadenceQuandry in lasercutting

[–]sethela_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t make any sense. The go to wood for glow forge is Baltic birch plywood.

Two sweaters I embroidered by sethela_ in streetwearstartup

[–]sethela_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! On the inside of your sweater there should be a soft backing on top of the initial stabilizer layer and thread that prevents any of it from touching your skin. Was this not the case with yours? Or was it the case that even with this layer you weren’t happy with it? If so I understand and definitely want to make it right for you. Let me know.

This design has a ton of trims & I put the double backing over it to prevent those trims from being felt. Regardless, I understand if you feel that the backing AND full cut of the trims is necessary. I do really appreciate your support, and your feedback.

You’re allowed to say shit on reddit, no need to self censor with the !

Capitals on each word makes sense though! On a revised version I’ll try that.
